Ogun is not a river. You can only have "river Ogun" or Ogun river translated to Omi Ògùn

Really, I thought the name of the river is Ogun. The river is common noun of all rivers.

I think you can isolate the "Ogun" as the name of the river and establish that "Ogun" is the name of the river that es through Ogun state.

Op, "ogun" has 20 meanings not 10. Do your research very well.

I'm looking forward to when Yoruba will be the official language in Nigeria. When the country adopt the language , it will bring good omen to the land.

In Agbor (Ika) this word has lots of meaning as well

Ogun - fight/battle
Ogun - medicine
Ogun - charm
Ogun - Twenty
Ogun - god of iron from which Ojogun was derived from. Blacksmiths are called ojogun. King of iron.

Patriot9:

To some extent, you are wrong.
1. Stab as a verb is not "Ogun". It is "gun".
"Ogun" is not an action word there.
The same thing is applicable to "Climb" and some others

He's trying to prove a point and we can also justify him by making both clauses.
i.e He/she stabs
He/she climbs

WHAT OF OGUN-AS IN IT'S LONG.

This is totally incorrect.

Baba Ogun is the name of a river simple. Just like River Nile.

Another one.....

Oko - Husband

Oko - Hoe ( farm tool)

Oko - penis

Oko - Stone

O ko - reject it

O ko - packed it

Stop saying what you don't understand. All what you wrote are completely different from each other. Where is your brain?

acounter2:



OK Sir..... but according to my research..... how do u pronounced "he stab" and "she climb" ?

he/she stab = "o" gun. The "o" is personification which means you are wrong

No wonder that are easily confused. Afonja peoples Republic.

Nice one but it almost 20.
Can't others but saw it at Olumo rock in ogun

Oogun (sweat) and not Ogun as you claimed. same as 'O gun ' (climb) and not Ogun as you claimed. Good work though.

ogun > sweat ( not agree with that as a Yoruba guy.)

Not totally in agreement with some of the words here for example Sweat in the true Yoruba translation is "Oògùn"
So also Climb "gun". In a situation where you refer to Ogun as climb, that means it's no longer a single word but two words which should be written separately as "O gun" which means the "O" which is a pronoun for either he/she "gun" MEANING : HE/SHE CLIMBS, HE/SHE CLIMBED

Actually a few of the words there are not single word but double like O gun = he climbed, O gun = he stabbed, O gun = it's long

Those last two no follow, they are phrases not single words...

Owo (hand) Owo (broom) Owo ( Town ) Owo (respect)

Ogun: Tall

Some words are 2 separate words. The list is not as long as that.

Yoruba is the best language apart from Arabic language


IGBA is another word with different meanings

1) Igba - calabash
2) Igba. - 200
3)Igba - season or time
4)Igba- garden egg
5)Igba - rope for climbing palm trees

delishpot:
They are not one word and different meaning. In yoruba words have Ami! The Ami changes them and as such they are not one word but 11 different words

You are adding another dimension to the subject, which is Ogun and it forms common factor in the context being analysed...
Yes, when u add ami into each of the Ogun, then u have different meanings to them which had been highlighted through different meanings of Ogun we have...

Ògùn war

O gun he/she stab
Ogún property

That's how Yoruba words are pronounced,
The sound of the vowels determines the punctuation on them.

"O gun" and not "Ogun"

Sweat is Oogun not Ogun.

Nice one, but the last two don't follow. They are phrases, not single words. u tried tho.

Smiles.... You are wrong when it's comes to the real pronounciation of the different meaning and this is due to the sign most of them carries including addition and subtraction of O' and U....

TGM2015:

So we have 6 meanings according to your post, though there might be more meaning but not the cancelled ones.

Only the Ogun in medicine and war sound alike. The rest have different Ami gbolohun which makes them different

yesloaded:

Not complete sir
Ogun: (Inheritance)

that is what the property stands for

So they are not naturally spelt the same way if you are writing them in real yoruba.
